Allows bypassing preflight checks when needed (e.g., testing).
Use with caution - preflight checks exist for safety.

Adds `bd workflow` command group that creates epics with dependent child tasks
from YAML templates. This enables structured multi-step workflows like version
bumps where agents can work through tasks with verification and dependencies.
Commands:
- `bd workflow list` - List available workflow templates
- `bd workflow show <name>` - Show template details and task graph
- `bd workflow create <name> --var key=value` - Instantiate workflow
- `bd workflow status <epic-id>` - Show workflow progress
- `bd workflow verify <task-id>` - Run verification command
Features:
- Variable substitution with {{var}} syntax
- Built-in variables: {{today}}, {{user}}
- Preflight checks before workflow creation
- Hierarchical task IDs under epic (bd-xxx.1, bd-xxx.2)
- Dependency graph between tasks
- Verification commands embedded in task descriptions
Includes built-in `version-bump` template with 21 tasks covering:
- All 10+ version files
- check-versions.sh verification
- Git commit, tag, push
- CI monitoring (goreleaser, npm, pypi, homebrew)
- Local machine upgrades
- Final verification

3. server_export_import_auto.go handleExport and auto-export now include
tombstones in SearchIssues filter

- IsExpired(): Negative TTL means immediately expired (for --hard mode)
- IsExpired(): ClockSkewGrace only added for TTLs > 1 hour
- bd cleanup --hard: Use negative TTL to prune freshly created tombstones
- bd delete --hard: New flag to immediately prune tombstones from JSONL
- Import: Add early tombstone check before all phases to prevent resurrection
The early tombstone check prevents ghost issues from being created when
tombstones exist in the DB. However, a deeper git merge issue (bd-ncwo)
can still cause resurrection when remote's status:closed wins the merge.

Changes bd prime output from "no TodoWrite" to a nuanced hybrid approach
that matches skills/beads/SKILL.md guidance:
- Track strategic work in beads (multi-session, dependencies, discovered work)
- TodoWrite is fine for simple single-session linear tasks
- When in doubt, prefer bd—persistence you don't need beats lost context

Refine ExtractIssuePrefix to better distinguish hash IDs from English
words in multi-part issue IDs. Hash suffixes now require digits or be
exactly 3 chars, preventing "test", "gate", "part" from being treated

LocalMode, SyncInterval, DaemonMode) during merge 60ae6586. These were added in

Adds the ability to permanently remove tombstones before the default 30-day TTL:
- bd cleanup --hard --older-than N: prune tombstones older than N days
- bd cleanup --hard: prune all tombstones
This bypasses sync safety for scenarios like cleaning house after extended
absence where resurrection from old clones is not a concern.

Add bd sync --check command that performs pre-sync integrity checks
without modifying state:
1. Force push detection: Detects when sync branch has diverged from
remote, indicating a potential force push
2. Prefix mismatch detection: Scans JSONL for issues that don't match
the configured prefix
3. Orphaned children detection: Finds issues with parent references
to non-existent issues
Outputs diagnostic with actionable suggestions for each problem found.
Exits with code 1 if any problems are detected.
Implements bd-hlsw.1: Pre-sync integrity check
When bd sync pushes from the sync-branch worktree, the pre-push hook
would detect uncommitted JSONL changes and suggest running bd sync -
which is circular since that's what the user is already doing.
Fix: Set BD_SYNC_IN_PROGRESS=1 environment variable when pushing from
worktree, and update pre-push hook to skip checks when this var is set.
Updated files:
- internal/syncbranch/worktree.go: Set env var on push command
- cmd/bd/templates/hooks/pre-push: Check for env var and exit early
- examples/git-hooks/pre-push: Same check
- .beads-hooks/pre-push: Same check
Adds a new `bd reset` command that completely removes beads from a
repository, automating the manual uninstall process.
The command:
1. Stops any running daemon
2. Removes git hooks installed by beads
3. Removes the merge driver configuration
4. Removes beads entry from .gitattributes
5. Deletes the .beads directory (ALL ISSUE DATA)
6. Removes the sync worktree (if exists)
Safety features:
- Requires --confirm <remote> to prevent accidental data loss
- Supports --dry-run to preview what would be removed
- Provides clear warnings about permanent data deletion

When sync.branch is set to the current branch (e.g., main), bd sync
now commits directly instead of failing with a worktree error.
Changes:
- sync.go: Detect when current branch == sync branch and skip worktree
- sync.go: Show appropriate messages for direct-mode commits/pulls
- doctor.go: Change from Error to OK status when on sync branch
The fix allows users to work directly on the sync branch without
having to switch to a different branch for bd sync to work.

Allow changing an issue type (bug, feature, task, epic, chore) via the
bd update command. The storage layer already supported issue_type in
allowedUpdateFields, this just exposes it through the CLI.
Changes:
- Add --type/-t flag to updateCmd in show.go
- Add IssueType field to UpdateArgs in protocol.go
- Handle issue_type in updatesFromArgs in server_issues_epics.go
- Add validation using ParseIssueType before update
Example usage:
bd update ab-xyz --type epic
Fixes: #522
Claude was using word-based priorities like "medium" instead of numeric
values (0-4 or P0-P4), causing bd create commands to fail in a loop.
Changes:
- Update bd prime output to clearly document priority format with example
- Add explicit note: NOT "high"/"medium"/"low"
- Improve error message to mention that words are not valid
